Lock Security › The Lock Option

The Lock Option

When you lock a particular user, you are preventing that userid from logging onto the CA Endevor/DB system, as well as preventing IDD updates by that user. This restriction remains in place until you unlock the userid.

1. Select option 2 on the Lock/Unlock Functions menu (2 - LOCK USERS). In addition, enter the userid you want to lock; in this example, userid SYSADMIN is designated.

   CCID       ===>                                    (IF OPTIONS 4, 5, 6 )
   DICTIONARY ===> SRCNDVR                            (IF OPTIONS 7, 8, 9 )
   

2. Press ENTER.

   The User Lock Detail screen displays for userid SYSADMIN.

3. To lock userid SYSADMIN, press ENTER. Then, press PF3 to return to the Lock/Unlock Functions menu.

Note the LOCKED field on the bottom line of the screen. When you first see the screen, the letter N appears in this field. Locking the userid automatically changes the entry to Y, which appears in the field when you next access this screen. In addition, userid SYSADMIN will be listed on the User Lock List the next time that screen appears.
